At eleven this morning the Reading Room measured 34 decibels.
A coworking house on Broadway, Tacoma. We measure every room once a month and publish the readings, so you can choose a seat by how loud it is.
Tours are free, and you need no membership.
Measured at 08:00, 11:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 19:00. Every hour is on Rooms, and what each room allows is in the house rules.
